Capital Structure and Borrowing Limits
The Board seeks shareholder approval to enhance borrowing capacity under Section 180(1)(a) and Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013. This proposal supersedes limits approved at the Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (EOGM) on April 30, 2025.
| Facility Type | Previous Limit | Proposed Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Fund Based | ₹1,000 crore | ₹1,500 crore |
| Non-Fund Based | ₹2,000 crore | ₹2,000 crore |
| Total Secured Indebtedness | ₹3,000 crore | ₹3,500 crore |
The aggregate secured indebtedness shall not exceed ₹3,500 crore. This enhancement supports increased business activities and strategic requirements.
Debt Issuance Authorization
Shareholders are asked to approve the issuance of Senior, Secured/Unsecured, Rated, Listed/Unlisted, Taxable, Redeemable Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) or other debt securities up to ₹1,000 crore. Issuance may occur via private placement or public issue in tranches. Proceeds will finance operations, working capital, and general corporate purposes.
To facilitate this, the Articles of Association will be amended to include Clause 137(e), allowing the Debenture Trustee to nominate a director on the Board per SEBI regulations.
Governance Updates
Mr. Nakul Markhedkar, Whole-Time Director, retires by rotation and is eligible for re-appointment. Shareholders must also ratify remuneration for related-party Key Managerial Personnel:
- Mrs. Kanchan Markhedkar (CHRO): Maximum remuneration of ₹3,67,73,205 per annum.
- Mr. Vipul Markhedkar (CBO): Maximum remuneration of ₹2,19,83,280 per annum.
Both appointments require approval under Section 188(1)(f) of the Companies Act, 2013, due to their relationship with the Chairman and Managing Director.
Strategic Expansion
The AGM will consider altering the Object Clause of the Memorandum of Association to explicitly include building and operating substations, transmission lines, renewable energy projects, data centers, and water infrastructure. This amendment aligns the legal framework with current engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) operations in power transmission and distribution.
